The Light of Asteria, (Book 1 of the Kailmeyra Series)

If Nora Johnson hadn't been on campus that day she would have never
known her true destiny. Helping her friends move into the dorm that she
wanted to call home, Nora accidentally collides with mysterious
stranger, Gavin Frey. His very first touch sends flames through her
heart. The world seems different-something within her has changed. She
tries to resume her mundane life, but she is now consumed with the one
whose very presence ignited her soul, the one with eyes of emerald. Nora
soon learns that an energy buried deep within has been unleashed. She
now wields unimaginable power and has become Gavin's source, his
strength. Her newfound joy is shaken when she discovers that Gavin is
not who he appears to be and she has been thrust in the middle of a war
of mythical proportions. Negativity allows all things evil to flourish,
the earth is under siege. The fate of creation hinges on the power
within her heart. Will she be strong enough to survive? A gripping tale
